Does anyone know what the code for Supplemental Oxygen Therapy is? ICD 9 code was 93.96 and it gems to ICD 10 3CCF7GC. Is this correct?

    My coders are asking for this. They want to code "Supplement Oxygen" that was given to a pt while inpt. This pt did not have home O2. Anyone know if ICD 10 "3CCF7GC" is correct?

    With the 3M encoder when I dual code, I get:



    3E0F7GC Introduction of Other Therapeutic Substance into Respiratory Tract,
    Via Natural or Artificial Opening

    And



    9396 Oxygen enrichment



    Not sure if right but thought I would share.



    Thanks,

    No problem. I just happened to have the encoder up and your code came up as
    not found. Glad I could help.



    TGIF,

    Hi Paul:

    I'm now working as a remote CDS and we are expected to "code" all diagnoses and procedures for every case reviewed. So I spend quite a bit of time adding the PCS codes not only for oxygenation, but imaging procedures (CXR, CT scans, US, etc.). Must share that the spinal fusions and laminectomies are killing me! :)

    So it sounds like you are using the ICD-10 PCS codes for planned outpatient procedures? Is that correct? I know the MD offices are using the CPT codes to get auths for laminectomies and fusions that are planned procedures. Are you talking about using PCS codes for these planned procedures or just ones that are done "emergently"?

    Hello...I understand. However, this type of high volume data reporting is usually available via an automated process, such as Charge Description Mgr (point of care) - I'd think you'd want to reserve 'hard' coding of surgical procedures for the CDI reviewer and coding team.

    Just my view..I'd not want to code injections, films, and so on for any inpatient account.
